Diet Question



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am two weeks post op and am trying to figure out what kind of a permenant diet to be on once my post op is over. I am wondering if most of you eat fruits with carbs and other carbs ? I loose weight like crazy when doing low carb, the Atkins has been my only sucess in weight loss before my band but unfortunately I gained it all back and more once I started to eat lots of carbs again. I know my body and it works for me to do low carb but is it save for long term with a band or would I gain it back someday ? I am wondering if I should eat a variety of food , loose slower but still feel my carb addiction , just to be able to have variety. I know with a band it will still be hard for me to do that , its a real thing that really exsists with me. When on low carb I sleep all night with a weight watchers type diet I wake in the night wanting food feeling shaky until I get up and have a coupe crackers. Is there anyone that eats a reagular low carb diet ? Maybe a low carb , low fat would be good for met to do. I had a hard time when meeting with the nutritionist about so many servings of grain and carbs I dread it, I know I will crave more. Anyway sorry for rambling but as I get closer to regular food I want to do the right thing. Thanks so much Kimhappy.gif

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
